Trivia: Axel (Eddie Murphy) introduces himself at the gun club as “Richard James”, the name of Murphy’s musician friend who produced his 1986 album.

Goofs: Revealing mistakes: During the scene where Axel first visits the gun club, it is daytime. Out the window of the scene in the office where Dent and Cain are discussing killing Foley, you can see past the bushes that it is dark outside, and a daylight balanced light is providing the “sun” beam through the window.

“The last time we saw Danny Ocean’s crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it’s been a while since they’ve come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff builds a hotel with known casino owner Willy Banks, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Banks. Banks’ attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff’s misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won’t stand for Banks and what he’s done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Banks, the crew is out to pull off a major plan. One that will unfold on the night Banks’ newest hot spot opens up, when the crew is out to bankrupt one of the city’s most despised businessmen.

Trivia: The plane Rusty and Danny fly to Vegas in at the beginning of the movie is a Gulfstream Aerospace G200.

Goofs: Continuity: Whenever the principals are at the airport, Gulfstream-class private jets await them. Gulfstream passenger cabins have distinctive oversize rounded “porthole” windows. Only such planes appear on the tarmac; however when there is a momentary in-flight clip showing the passenger’s aerial view of the passing landscape below, the window is a small “sardine can” window of a typical commercial airliner. Clearly this was generic stock footage of “anyplane” flying over “anycity”. When the highrollers are later disembarking, the windows become classic Gulfstream portholes again.
